Talk:Eustatic sea level

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page contradicts itself as to the definition of "Eustatic sea level. It says both: "The eustatic sea level is the distance from the center of the earth to the sea surface.[1][2] "

and

"Eustatic (global) sea level refers to the volume of Earth’s oceans.[3] This is not a physical level but instead represents the sea level if all of the water in the oceans were contained in a single basin.[4]"

Both cannot be simultaneously true.

I believe the second definition is correct and the first is not.
